Gd eve everyone,
Please I need quick response
My hubby (MA) has 45 million in his account we wanted to use as POF for family of 4, but we had a change of plan becos my TB certificate is not out yet so he wants to remove 20 million from the money so we add money to it for us(dependants), please will the removal of 20 million affects the SOA for UKvi, will they ask him why remove 20 million from the account despite he still meet his financial requirements for the 28days rule.

Good morning people, anyone looking for who to share house with around Warrington, Liverpool or Manchester please chat me up. I am looking to share a 2 bedroom flat with someone. I take one room and the other person takes one room. We share the jibbing area and kitchen together. Please anyone that is looking to share kindly let me know.

Will be arriving UK on the 12th of August. Flight ticket already booked.

Izzyagain:


Thank you so much I will do just that. She has never been to uk before so I’m surprised.

Good people, Please I need your advice on this issue. MA is about applying for visa , also for the dependants. We are about to apply for visa but the sponsor has agreed to put the pof funds in my spouse(dependant)account and not in my own(MA) account. Please will the visa decision be impacted in anyway if the pof is in the dependant-spouse account. Please advise.

osagiemma:
Hello House Please I have a question must the visa be applied for on the 28th day or I can add additional days before applying. Thanks

Fraih:

A day after the 28th day is fine

good evening house
i am about to pay my deposit fees of 3,000 pounds to sheffield hallam university, although my deposit deadline is on the 17th of July, 2023.
i want to ask how many days does flywire takes before the payment gets to sheffield hallam university and will i be able to meet up prior to that date (17th of July). my unconditional offer of admission came on the 4th of July, 2023.

Many Thanks for your response @ duchess and co.

Greetings

Please can someone reduce prove of funds by Using Pension certificate

I have pension certificate of 8m can I use it as part of my POF

oladeyle:
Flywire takes 3 working days to reach ur school. But, what matters is the date you made payment via flywire.

oladeyle:
Did you receive the recent mail stating by 31st July for CAS?

MG007:
Hello good people, my spouse applied with a bank statement bearing her maiden name . She has since changed her name which is reflected in other docs submitted except for the bank statement which still bears her maiden. Tho we submitted a marriage certificate and also change of name , pls will these docs suffice ??

osagiemma:


Please if I decide to add days does it require any penalty because mine I started counting mine on the 30th June but due to the pounds fluctuation I added a lump sum today. So can I just start the 28th afresh from today.. sorry for the plenty questions. Thanks

Gurus in the house I need your advise.

After getting student visa for myself and 3 dependants, is it compulsory we all come into UK on the same flight?

I was wondering if I can to UK in September and get an apartment while hubby and the kids come in October.

I am worried because I answered YES on my visa application form that my dependents will be travelling together with me.

Please advise me.

adeblow:
Good morning house.
Please for those going in January, does it mean they don't have access to the post study work visa? Or is it just the dependants that aren't allowed?
Please I'll anticipate a response.

ugwukcee:
Hello all,
@duchess90, when I applied for my visa, I indicated I had no one depending on me for financial support. Now I want to bring a spouse along, do a quick marriage and bring her before December. Is this going to be possible? If yes, how do I go about it?
Pls not that I received my visa on May and preparing for September studies.
Thanks.

Gracious11111:

quote author=Fraih post=124239443]Visa Alert!!! 🥂🥂🥂

Its being a really longggggggggg way coming. A little back story...
Initially for Jan 23 Admission
Application in August 22
Unconditional admission - Sept 22
Tuition deposit - Oct 22
Nov 22 - School said my payment came late so no more CAS
School gave me option to defer admission or ask for refund. Decided to defer to Sept (seemed like a long wait😞)

Fastforward to 2023
POF - 18th May to 15th June (29days)

Application 16th June - The day Oanda rate shoot up unexpectedly - I was so confused & wished I paid exactly when POF was 28 days matured. Luckily I had other accounts which met the UKVI requirements and decided to use it alongside.

Bio (MA and Dep.) - 20th June (VI TLS, Standard, Flexi appointment)

Received by DMC (MA and Dep.) - 21st June

Empty NSF (MA only) - 21st June

1 Paid mail done, response was application awaiting decision

Moved to VAC (MA and Dep.) - 4th July

Received by VAC (MA and Dep.) - 4th July

Collection Mail (MA and Dep.) - 4th July

BRP mail (MA and Dep.) - 5th July

Passport received today - 5th July

Documents submitted
MA
*CAS
*TB Test
*WAEC and First Degree (As stated on CAS)
*Transcript
* 3 SOA, same name - NGN, USD and GBP, thanks to Oanda Fluctuations
*CV, NYSC cert., Employment letters, Reference letter (8 years study gap)

Dependant
*TB test

*Marriage Cert. & (One Pdf containing about 40 pictures ranging from wedding pictures to few chat screenshot to transfer receipt)

Some lessons learnt
* I was trying to use Form A to process my tuition deposit when I was running against time, I rushed to use BM at last minute but couldn't meet up the session admission. Pls do what you have to do on time and dont delay.
* Do your TB test when you are sure you will get CAS, or have gotten CAS
* While Building your POF, have some backup account that can be presented just in case
* Someone was advising me to wait for 29 days maturity of POF before applying, Ideally its not necessary, UKVI requirement is 28days. SOA can be more than 28 days, but visa application can be immediately after 28 days matured.

In all, I'm glad we are here! I learnt a lot from this platform ehn!
You'll definitely have all the information here to apply and without using any agent. I did DIY.

To all prospective UK students. Congratulations in Advance.
This testimony will go round.
Thanks to everyone committed to answering questions here. @duchess90, @mimilyrics et al.
Special thanks to olola4, it's time to share coke for everyone! 😀
